You have taken a handful of words and made something very beautiful out of them. Just awesome.

Blessing.

A very serene, pious and heart rending depiction of mother-child duo and their destiny- a constant struggle with survival and their embrace with a very kind bosom of the Absolute. Really a wonderful stuff, Manatita.

You have encompassed the emotions of the moment when mom holds her new baby in her arms and begins breast feeding. This is a powerful moment I was able to witness with the birth of my children, but you have seen into the depths of the woman's experience and have returned with your well written words. Thank you.
